Women and Inclusivity in Gliding (WinG)

The BGA is actively engaged in increasing participation in gliding and our strategy includes identifying actions and implementing those actions to increase the number of women in gliding.

Women and Inclusivity in Gliding (WinG) has been developed to provide a supportive framework for increasing participation at gliding clubs.

A Women’s Development Team has recently been introduced and many clubs now have a women’s ambassador, all of which will also support the success of the WinG project. WinG related activity can be anything a club wants it to be, for example a stand-alone project or sitting within the “Great Gliding Club” initiative, which is also being developed to support clubs with their efforts to increase participation.

Gliding with a disability

Gliding is a form of flying that is well-suited to those with disabilities or who have limited mobility. Several gliding clubs are equipped with two-seat gliders that with a hand rudder control modification. Read more here.
